·Over the next 10 years, cuts $880 million in federal funding for Medicaid (also called the Oregon Health Plan), the public health insurance program for the poor and disabled. That huge cut is going to adversely affect a quarter of Oregonians in District 2 who cannot afford to get insurance.

·Will give Oregon a fixed amount of money for each person on Medicaid, instead of a share of whatever Oregon needs to spend. This funding change will cause Oregon to either have to pick up the difference with higher taxes or reduce the number of Oregonians with Oregon Health Plan coverage, leaving many without healthcare.

·Adversely affects rural hospitals where the patients tend to be older, poorer and sicker, and their profit margins much narrower. Rural hospitals with high numbers of uninsured and Oregon Health Plan (i.e. Medicaid) patients will be forced to cut back on services and pass along cost increases to other, insured patients.

·Large tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, with 40% of the tax cuts going to the richest 1%. Those wealthy households would receive an average tax cut of $37,000 while the lowest income bracket Americans would get an average tax cut of $150

·where patients will be able to choose a health care provider without worrying about whether that provider is in-network and will be able to get the care they need without having to read any fine print or trying to figure out how they can afford the out-of-pocket costs.
